1) To support high-quality music education for residents of all ages, to develop knowledge, skills, and understanding of the arts. 2) To overcome barriers to accessing high quality arts activities and instill the arts into our community and our region. 3) To increase our number of Partners in Music from eleven in the 2017-18 season, to twelve in the 2017-18 season, therefore validating the concert series and the community support for the music series. 4) To secure six local musicians who will participate in the Lunch and Listen program. We will gather our results from verbal comments at each concert and jam session, keep accurate numbers of attendees, and will be able to assess the support for the project by the number of Partners in Music and the number of repeat partners from the 2016-17 season. We hope that local artists will want to participate in the Lunch and Listen program. The number of Partners in Music will directly reflect the community support and will be used to measure success of the project.
